I tend to hang out at the British Car Forum because of the Midget - the book is Tuning Vivas & Firenzas

errr that would be mine too. It's gone to the island of lost toys for awhile (a friend's farm) as the Viva bumped it in restoration order. It is complete but very very rough. Plans are a restoration but an 850 engine.

I'll post a pic or two. Will also include Ms Triss my Midget - got her in Florida in 2004, essentially rust free (two small holes) but had been rear ended. I used this as an excuse to do a chrome bumper conversion (it's a '76) She has been on the road since 2009.

I keep looking at the twin headlight version of the GT and want this on mine... but where of where does one get the stuff.... One needs to go on the hunt for bits in Canada me thinks.

I like the look better too - I know that I have more than one grille though am not sure about condition. The buckets might need to be fabbed though.
